Cannibalism has been documented across all human species throughout history, with archaeological evidence showing that in periods when the total human population was around 100,000, 10-12 people were found to have been cannibalized, representing an extraordinarily high percentage; this practice was driven by resource scarcity and starvation, as humans would kill and eat other humans when they could not catch monkeys, fish, or deer to survive.

cannibalism in human history | subscribe | ranveer allabhadia |Added:
There is not one single human species where cannibalism hasn't been found. And imagine a period where the total humans on Earth were just 100,000. For 10 or 12 people to have been found, that's an extraordinarily high percentage of cannibalism. I mean, look, you're stuck in a time where you can't catch a monkey or a fish or a deer.
There's a human being who's easy to kill right there. You're going to kill and eat if you have to survive. People don't realize how brutal those times were.
Resource scarcity, starvation, you kill what's around and eat it.
